formtec Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Good morning! Our department is trying to figure out a way to issue blocks of numbers for invoices (say, 1500-2000). After issuing these number blocks, we would like to send a FileMaker form to the user, which has been set to only allow invoice numbers to be created within the preset number range. Every time the user creates a new record, the number is incremented by a value of 1. When the user goes over their set number range, it fails out and sends a message, asking the user to contact our office for an additional form with a new number range. However, the built-in validation does not work! I cannot figure out how to get the validation to check every time to see if the number is still within an acceptable range. I tried the simple If (Invoice No. Any suggestions? I'm stuck here. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formtec Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Additionally, this is FileMaker 5.0, if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHunter3 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Is Invoice Number a numerical field, as opposed to a text field? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formtec Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Yes, that is correct. Even though the field is set to a numerical value, it is still not evaluating the range correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
